Sapporo Ramen Bishamon (Bukit Panjang Plaza)

I was very excited to hear about the new Sapporo Ramen Stall in Bukit Panjang Plaza.

I ordered the Chef's recommendation - the Special Sapporo Miso Ramen and a side of gyoza and some Tempura prawns.

The main thing with ramen is that the soup has to be absolutely burning hot - so hot you can barely put the spoon to your mouth without scalding your lips and tongue. When you blow onto the soup there should be plenty of steam coming off. Unfortunately the soup here felt tepid and needed to be much hotter for satsifaction. It was well seasoned and tasted authentic although i prefer my soup much more salty. I enjoyed the soft boiled egg as well. The noodles were OK.

The gyoza was a little watery and had undoubtedly been frozen previously. The tempura was nice but a little oily and possibly the oil was a little old.

There is free flow green tea - either hot or iced and the waitress was very keen to keep me filled up.

Came here soon after it opened so it was empty except for me.  I love ramen and need to get a fix sometimes, but around bukit batok there isn't too much for tonkotsu ramen.  Service was prompt of course since I was the only one there.  The soup was well hot and flavorful, the noodles were properly firm with standard ramen texture.  The meat was a bit skimpy, only 3 pieces of the charsu, but it was thicker than normal at least.  The meat was flavorful but quite lean, I like mine with a bit more fat on it. 
All in all it was very standard ramen, I imagine cause it's from the japanese chain, but it's not bad for a fix when there's nothing else close by.
